You may need to build a containment vessel around the entire pump house and seal the floor drain. If they are that worried.

Never had anyone ask this question before. Tank is double wall, not an issue. Background: The diesel pump is located in a standalone manufactured fire pump house (package deal, all assembled in the factory), 1500 gpm pump set. Industrial site setting. There is a low level alarm on the fuel tank but if you were relying on that to signal a leak it would be too late by the time the signal alarmed. There is a 2" floor drain in the pump house but their concern is whether the diesel would run to the drain and into the municipal sanitary sewer system. Definitely a no-no. Anyone else had this question raised by an AHJ or risk consultant? Craig L.
